Navigating the Complexities of IVF: What Happens to Extra Embryos

from Birth, Baby! | Guidance for Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum, and Parenting · host Birth, Baby! Podcast

A candid conversation about IVF, embryo decisions, and the overlooked counseling on embryo options. Exploring personal experiences, ethical dilemmas, and the need for better guidance in reproductive choices. For many years, Evelyn lived in LA and SF, CA as a dancer, actor and on-camera talent, turned media producer. She drastically changed course when she decided to take on the role of a lifetime as a mama and eventually move to the amazing state of Texas with her family. She is a full-time wife and Mom to her three children, ages; 8, 5 and 4. Evelyn proudly boasts the title of "Dance mom" to her first born. She uses any opportunity she can get to educate those around her about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle and educated nutritional or environmental choices, despite being an outlier at times in her particular position. She balances her time dabbling in lifelong passions such as dance and writing, while supporting her family in all their many endeavors. She loves a good karaoke or dance party but has far too few of them. You can connect with her on IG at @‌Evievolving where you will mostly find family or dance-mom content and the occasional cooking or nutritional tip mixed in with an unpopular opinion at times. She'd love for you to say hello no matter what! Are you a parent interested in learning more from Ciarra? You can check out her class offerings HERE.
